Just shoot me - please!

MY ALLERGIES ARE KILLING ME! (4.7.10)

i am sneezing, hacking and 'running' away today. (didnt sleep well) the pollen is out of control. normally i take an over the counter allergy pill and nothing bothers me. but this year the Oak Pollen is so high i can hardly stand it. (or truthfully i cant stand it)

""Amazingly, scientists have collected samples of ragweed pollen 400 miles out at sea and 2 miles high in the air. Because airborne pollen can drift for many miles, it does no good to rid an area of an offending plant. In addition, most allergenic pollen comes from plants that produce it in huge quantities. For example, a single ragweed plant can generate a million grains of pollen A DAY.""

WELL DARN IT, im suffering. i heard on the news last night, 'low to normal pollen counts are 700-900. high is 1200. yesterday our Oak Pollen was 3200.' my eyes itch, my nose runs, i sneeze. I sneeze often. they say it might rain today. i hope it clears up the pollen? (tonight they say the pollen is still extremely high. the culprits: Ash, Hickory, Maple & Oak.)

400 miles away is Sonora, Texas. So, are they out there shaking the trees and sending all their Pollen my way? do i have to drive out there and cut down all their trees? Somethings gotta happen!

Other than the fact i cant breathe we are having a very lovely spring. weather in the 70's and sunny.

hope your pollen is low and the temps are just right... xo pirate skip
